JLS523 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The house on Studewood near the carwash is going to be a salon/day spa. Good Afternoon All,hope your day goes well !

houstonray Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 A day spa/salon would make sense for the 'booths for lease' sign. Usually, RMT's can lease space in a salon to set up their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunsets Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 With a name like that... wow. What was "just south of the Pig Stand" - that old antique warehouse? any updates, recent news , or feedback on what appears to be a new coffee shop in the works for the neighborhood. It will be in the strip mall between White Oak and 11thThe former daycare in the yellow house at 9th and Studewood has a sign up stating that it will soon be "The Big Mamou" - Cajun Restaraunt and Coffee Bar . I am intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porchman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Lesbian bar? (not joking).Probably not. Monica Pope and her partner are the proprietors, and may have adopted the name with some play on words.Should be great. Her focus on regional provisons would combine well with a more laid back dive (not that T'afia is all that formal). With this and Benjy's new location hitting the strip, I'm one happy camper.

luvtheheights Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 002 magazine did a cover piece on Wash. ave not long ago and mentioned that Monica Pope was bringing in a new restaurant.

luvtheheights Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 So, is Benjy's in the Heights a done deal? All I've heard is speculation up to this point...I don't know if it is a "done deal", but it was talked about in the chronicle about a month or so ago. I would assume that it's still a go. Also, does anyone know when Dahrma Cafe is opening up in their new spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmariar Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 This doesn't sound like a retail or restaurant development, but it is on Studewood...I just saw a large sign hanging where the hair salon used to be, next door to the little convenience store at Studewood and 8th. The sign says "City of Houston Field Office", and there were workers inside cleaning out the space - possibly the space where the laundromat is/was, as well, though I didn't look closely. Has anyone heard anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heights_yankee Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Wow. I am so excited about all this development.As far as Monica Pope's restaurant: there used to be a little ice house just south of Washington called "Beavers." It was old school and I was dismayed to see that it has closed. Anyway, Monica's new venture may even be in that building and she is keeping the name. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeshi Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 It's on Houston Ave, just South of I-10, can't remember the cross street, but it's on the East side of the street near Montalbano...It's at Crockett. My wife and I have been on Summer street since June of last year and we're definitely looking forward to Dharma on Houston since it's just a couple of blocks away.

houstonray Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for the correct cross street, I couldn't remember exactly which one it was. I've never eaten at Dharma, but have heard good things about it. Will look forward to having it as another new option for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They describe it as "a modern-day icehouse with the best damn BBQ in Houston.'' That should be fun. Those of you who live in the Heights should keep us posted on the grand opening.

tanith27 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I was at T'afias last week and they confirmed a September opening, although I dont have a specific day. If you're wanting to try some of the bbq brisket they will have at Beavers, hit T'afias during their weekday happy hour. Their appetizer menu is free and on this menu is the brisket they will have at Beavers.Back to Studewood, note that the White Linen Nights first Saturday in August (4th) from 6-10pm will also carry free samples from the as-of-yet-unopened Big Mamou Cajun restaurant on Studewood. I believe they are set to open this fall.Also a couple blocks north of Big Mamou, noticed that little building on the east side of Studewood just south of the Tamale Factory on 11th now has a 'sold' sign on it. Any word on what that could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I am glad to see Monica kept the Beaver name.Louis Beaver opened that new location for his Ice House, and then, sadly, died.He used to run Beaver's Ice House over on Shepard around 26th street. I think it is called Buffalo Fred's now.Louis was often seen hanging around (drinking at) The Shiloh. He was a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
